Just because players are back from injury and playing doesn't necessarily mean they are back healthy, probably playing hurt

Yes, and every team has to deal with this, not just Buffalo. Injuries happen to every team and no team is ever 100% healthy.

This is Jack's team
Give him the C, it will give the team an identity and an attitude
sign antipin
add guhle
draft makar
add a serious scoring threat to compliment jack
(don't know where that's coming from if it's not Nylander)



then MAYBE we can play spring hockey

Then those players need to (frank)ing go. Everyone needs to get this straight....this is Jack Eichel's team.

Everyone knows this too.

But apparently in Buffalo you need to show your blue collar'd ness or something to earn that.

Yep ...... and there lies one of the main problems attracting big time players/coaches to Buffalo.............. the Sullys, Harringtons and Buckys of the area in addition to the fan base. Sad but true ..........

The press is a cakewalk in Buffalo.

It takes two sides to create a bad relationship.
Maybe if both teams didn't seem so dysfunctional the press would back off some.

How about making the playoffs for either team once every 5 or so year.

Don't worry....people can keep female doging about him...dumbass harrington can keep trashing him.......and Jack will be a Bruin when his contract is up

Not every team is in a rebuild, and not every team has that amount right at the start of a season. Big difference

Not every team gets all their players back and then plays worse hockey either.
The Sabres did that.

Harrington attacks fans (twitter), players and personnel. Hes borderline abusive. Just miserable

Dater for the Avs. He trolls. Russo for the Wild. Staples for the Oilers. Francis for the Flames

Every team has their intolerable beat writers

No doubt Eichel is an incredible player and future of the Sabres, but he seems too temperamental for the C.

I don't think you can give it to guys like ROR or Bogo, but would a guy like Risto be a better fit?

I guess.. That doesnt mean its ok to attack fans because you are a miserable person (Harrington). I get that they get alot of dumb takes from fans but a professional has the ability to ignore if they choose

Oh so they just gave up then? That's even better.

not trying to be an A%&*( but if that is the case the entire organization needs to be tore down again.

I agree both sides are to blame, but to pin it all on one side is very unfair, IMO.

Young kid that has never lost at any level, and had a serious injury for the first time ever. Takes some time getting used to. I don't think there is to much concern, yet. If this keeps up, then maybe.

Another roadway in Atlanta is shut down after a collapse.

If anyone knows anything about Atlanta that now Makes I-85 and I-20.

Only two major roads left 285 and 400.

Anyone taking wagers?

There is no quick fix for the Sabres and GMTM. Maybe another tank year is in order. The Leafs are going to dominate the division and the conference for the next several years. A slow and steady rebuild and maybe we can catch them in 5-7 years.
